The outcome of today’s vote prolongs uncertainty and will continue to depress business confidence. The lack of clarity on the path to an orderly Brexit risks disruption and financial instability on both sides of the Channel.

A no deal outcome is not in the best interests of customers in the UK or the EU.”
